After playing a few tourneys 2-7 NL Single Draw recently, I can appreciate the feat that Phil Ivey did by winning the 2-7 bracelet even more. Unbelievable that you can actually win such a tourney…where swings can be massive and the next cooler is just around the corner….that being said, I crippled myself once again after 1.5h+ putting it in with a pat 98…my opponent drawing one…of course he draws perfect to a 97….fucking a++…busted myself the next hand. Apart from that tourney I’ve played a little NL Hold’em and some PLO8…but no joy there either…just one of those days…I’m off…

Yup…pretty much that equals disaster…oh well…before my head explodes I had to vent in the chat a little…I wonder when they will finally strip my chat away…oh well…doesn’t matter anyway…I’ll take another break as I can’t take another screwjob, bad run and bs…I’m outta here…

Well, almost two weeks since my last efforts to have some “fun” at the online gamb00ling thing. The break was good for me, but once I logged on for the first time again pokerstars didn’t make it easy on me. I suffered some fugly coolers and beats early on and I was on the verge of going on stone cold tilt and really dusting it off. Good thing for me that I kept my shite in order and was able to comeback. Once I won the final headsup match (flopping quads), I knew I had it made for the day and logged off immediately. Now I’ll enjoy some quite time/sleep…long weekend of relaxing ahead of me (easter…so tomorrow and monday are bank holidays, wheee)…gl at the tables…

Don’t expect to find any new poker content soon around here. Today was the session that put me over the edge. I got junk kicked so often I don’t even remember all the sick nasty fucking beats I took. All I know is that within the first 30 hands I got beat out of 3 pots for all the marbles getting three outered each and every fucking time (A7 vs K7 on a 7 high board; KQ vs K7 on an ace high board with a king, and QJ vs Q5 on a queen high board). Fucking A pokerstars fucking A. Now that all is said and done I lost about 50% of my roll in the course of this year so far. It’s one of those nice stretches when no matter how ready you are, no matter how good you play, no matter how endlessly stupid your opponents are…in the end they win….and of course the house wins…surprise…fucking brilliant. I won’t participate any longer in this bs…it used to be fun…but now it’s only misery anger and pain…so I quit…let’s see how long I can stay away from the game I love…but for now I would say: it could be a while…

Keep up the good fight…if you’ve got the nerves and balls to get kicked in just them over and over again…it’s been fun…while it lasted…see you all on the other side….Ingoal signing out…

Well…that’s all I have to say…gotta get offline to clean my keyboard…it’s full of puke…good night…

Well what can I say…poker playing times have been sparse these days and when I played a few matches I really felt like playing. Felt is the right word…in the other sense…as I was down to it more often than not. I won’t lie about making the occasional bad play here and there, steamed up or not, but the last few months have been brutal. I already dusted off 40% of my roll in 2009 and the junk kicks don’t seem to stop. I just can’t put a winning session in the books anymore. Oh well, I guess you gotta take the bad with the good…so I leave you with three of the beautiful hands of the night and catch some good good sleep…as I won’t lose any over this bs…

Played some headsup matches today and about the only time I had fun was teasing and busting a supernova. I can only imagine how he ended up at the 11$ tables, but judging based on his play (e.g. donk calling an all-in with A2 s00000ted) I would say, well…who knows…

Apart from that one I’ve been in cooler-town, USA all day. I mean if you play headsup you’re bound to find yourself in second best vs best hand situations a lot…although I’m not talking about nuts vs second nuts hands here…anyway…managed to run Queens into Kings, Kings into Aces…along with the usualy 30% = 100% against me hands and that was that…chop chop chop the opponent down…then get kicked in the junk…lose…oh well…I’m outta here…

That about sums it up…played some matches and an MTT…so and so, about breakeven again…sigh…oh well…I’m going to cool down now for tonight’s homegame…live poker…yay!

Well, it’s been a week since I last played, so I decided to play a little today…nothing spectacular to report. Won most of my matches…enjoy the random pic dump and I’m outta here…oh before I forget, the next home game will be next saturday…one week until I can finally play some live poker again…wheeee…looking forward to it…

These days it doesn’t take much for me to become totally tilted…I think I really should take a break, like I already said on twitter. I acted against my own advise and played some today and it didn’t take long to get tilted again. First I got tilted in NL HE as a calling station dumbsack couldn’t do much wrong, hitting miracles left and right. I threw away the next match. Then I switched gears and played an Omaha MTT. The ultimate tilter. I held my ground and was among the chipleaders for most of the way. Then a hand came down were I flopped the nuts and lost (the main pot, but won the sidepot). If I win that pot I’ve got 7-8x the current average. Instead I lose the mainpot, but I’m still in the top 10. The break comes up. A few hands after the break I’m out on a total tilt move – after losing 2 small pots in a row I push my stack in with air and obv get called…I’m still wondering what made me go over the edge on that one…I guess it was the sum of all the bad hands before that, I just couldn’t take it anymore…but what do you expect in an 8$ four card bingo MTT? Nevermind raising big coming in, you’ll get called anyway. Get to see a lot of flops cheaply, flop the nuts and get payed off – unless you get unlucky. Easy…if you got the patience and can keep a cool head. Both of the latter ran out on me after slightly over an hour. Sick. Oh well, I can’t beat myself up too much about it…and this time I’m sticking to my own advise. I won’t play another hand over the weekend. De-tilt 101. I’m outta here…
